She clung to him desperately as her body shuddered with release, every kiss he placed on her skin heightened. Their hearts pounded wildly together, her breathing slowly returned to normal and she loosened her hold on him, letting her head fall back to the mattress beneath her.

His words caused her to laugh, the sound deep and throaty. ‘Worth the wait’ was certainly an understatement; she couldn’t remember the last time she had felt this completely satiated. Every moment had been perfect. “You’re not so bad yourself,” she said with a grin, sliding one hand up his back to his neck, her fingers curling in the soft hair at its nape. Slowly she moved her legs from around him, letting her feet rest back on the mattress. Slowly was the word for her every movement now, even how she blinked. Her body felt boneless, and she wasn’t sure she could move quickly even if she wanted to.
